Down 24 at the half, Broncos come back to shock Chargers

In the early going, Philip Rivers and the Chargers appeared primed to move to 4-2, two clear of the Broncos in the AFC West. At the half, Rivers already had a pair of touchdown passes to Antonio Gates, and the Chargers staked to a seemingly insurmountable 24-0 lead on Denver.

On the ensuing drive, the Chargers used 11 plays to bring the ball into Broncos territory. But Philip Rivers coughed up the ball on a sack by Elvis Dumervil, and Tony Carter picked it up and scampered 65 yards to cut the lead to 24-14.

Manning finished the game 24-for-30 with 309 yards, three touchdowns and one pick. On the opposing sideline, Rivers completed 25 of 41 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns, but threw four interceptions.

Rivers wasn't the only one who was off target, in San Diego. At halftime, Phil Mickelson had a 100-yard shot at earning $1 million for the charity First Book. He had to stick it within five feet of a target; Mickelson's shot sailed long, though, and he was booed off the field, despite earning $50,000 for First Book.
